Epoxy Injection Preparation Tips – Installing Surface Mount Tri-Base Ports

Epoxy Injection is a low pressure crack filling solution where all sides of the crack are sealed and structurally glued together with a high strength low viscosity Epoxy Resin.

To prep for injection, the crack must be cleaned with a wire brush and all dust removed. Any surface contaminants, such as oils or paints, must be removed for the epoxy paste-over to bond properly. If available, use clean compressed air to remove any dust and debris. For best results perform epoxy injection preparation when the crack and surface are dry. Any water seeping from the crack should be stopped prior to epoxy injection. For sealing water bearing cracks click here.

Once the surface is cleaned, the Surface Mount Epoxy Injection Ports are installed directly over the crack 6” – 8” (15-20 cm) apart. The finer the crack, the narrower the spacing should be.

Shown in this example are standard surface mounted Tri-Base ports, however corner ports and ½” drill in ports are available for specific applications.

Solid Ground, Even When It’s Cold Around: Expert Tips for Soil Stabilization in Cold Weather

As the cold season approaches and temperatures begin to plummet, the challenges of soil stabilization in cold weather become more pronounced.

However, with the right precautions and techniques, it is entirely possible to achieve effective soil stabilization even in low temperature conditions. In this article, we provide some essential tips and best practices for soil stabilization with SealBoss 1570 / 1570 during the colder months.

Avoid Working in Frozen Ground
The primary consideration when thinking about soil stabilization in cold weather is the state of the ground. If the water table is frozen, it is a clear indicator that the soil is too. Frozen soil lacks the permeability required for the effective pe*******on of polymer resin into the soil soil. Attempting stabilization on such ground would not only be ineffective but also a waste of valuable materials. In such scenarios, it is advisable to wait for more favorable conditions.

Condition Your Equipment and Materials for Soil Stabilization in Cold Weather
Cold weather can significantly affect the performance of your SealBoss soil stabilization materials and equipment.

Epoxy Injection in Cold Weather

Inclement weather can often pose challenges in the concrete repair and waterproofing industry where applications often rely on the reactive cure of chemical grouts, such as polyurethane foams, gels and epoxy resins.

We Provide Training in All Conditions

A week prior to the training we wanted to make sure that we were prepared so that everybody in attendance could get the most out of the experience. We proactively sent an email to the contractor requesting that they provide the ancillary items necessary to make the training as efficient and effective as possible.

One of the items requested was a focused source of heat in the way of a heat gun. We were very pleased to see that they were prepared with two heat guns which enabled them to speed up the setting process for the crack seal paste. When chemistry is at play, temperature is a very important factor. In almost all cases, heat will speed up reactions between different chemicals.

In cold weather it is critical to precondition the epoxy resins to room temperature prior to use. Epoxy resins may not react below 35-45°F, but will begin to cure again once the temperature rises. A heat gun can be used to warm up the concrete surface prior to installing surface mounted ports and to increase the temperature of the installed epoxy adhesive to approximately 100°F or 40°C to initiate the exothermic reaction and speed up the cure time. Take care to avoid heating the surface or epoxy to over 130°F or 55°C .

While there are many things out of everyone’s control such as the weather, those things that are in our grasp ought to be executed to the best of everyone’s ability thanks to the preparedness from all members involved with this session, the team was able to benefit from and learn the basics as it relates to structural epoxy injection all the way from port setting to clean out of the pump.

Please inquire about training opportunities with your local SealBoss representative.

Sealing Tie Holes
Tie Holes a.k.a. Tie-Rod Holes in Concrete Structures
What are Tie Holes?
Tie holes are small openings in concrete structures that result from the removal of tie rods. Tie rods are essential components used in concrete formwork, which is the mold into which concrete is poured to achieve the desired shape. These rods help maintain the alignment and stability of the formwork during the concrete pouring and curing process.
Tie holes may start to leak under hydrostatic pressure caused by a source of water on the opposite side of the structure.
Polyurethane Polymer Foam Injection is an effective method to seal leaking tie rods permanently.

Polyurethane Grout: A Dynamic Solution

Guide to Concrete Leak Sealing:

Polyurethane Grout vs. Hydraulic Cement & Crystalline Waterproofing

In the realm of concrete leak sealing repair and reinforcement, options are abundant but not all solutions are created equal. Specifically, when sealing leaks in concrete structures, it is crucial to understand the comparative advantages and applications of hydraulic cement, crystalline waterproofing, and polyurethane grout. In this guide, we shall explore these three options, shedding light on their benefits and potential limitations.

For structures prone to any movement over time, including expansion and contraction of materials, polyurethane grout outshines its service applied counterparts. The long-term benefits of polyurethane grout injection often justify the investment.

Let’s consider an illustrative example: a substantial concrete structure, such as below grade wall or potable water tank, several feet thick and reinforced with rebar, that has developed a crack.

In cases where the leak is not too severe – keeping in mind that polyurethane grout injection is the preferred, and often only method for handling aggressive or gushing leaks – a surface patch solution like a hydraulic cement or crystalline system could be employed to halt a minor leak initially.

While this approach may provide temporary relief, it falls short in addressing the fundamental problem – the unending cycle of water infiltration, migration, and trapped moisture within the structural fissures and crevices. The unresolved water intrusion not only propagates moisture migration throughout the structure, but it may also expose the reinforcing bars (rebar) to corrosive effects. This corrosion can lead to expansion, creating additional stress on the concrete structure, potentially worsening the initial problem.

Here is where polyurethane grout shines – Full depth pe*******on concrete leak sealing

With a full-depth injection of polyurethane grout, you can not only disperse any water inside the structure and seal the entire volume of the crack, but also safeguard the rebar in the process, eliminating the threat of future corrosion. The penetrating and water dispersing ability, flexibility, and durability of polyurethane grout make it an ideal solution for preventing future leaks. Unlike surface patch solutions, it offers a comprehensive, long-term resolution to the issue.
